Volunteer your yard for a televised make-over by professional landscapers for advertising.

Have a Cash-less yard sale  where items are displayed that can be claimed after clearing a number of square feet of weeds and grass to a trash bin. Always provide refreshments and seating at yard sales. Free beer and belly-dancers is a real crowd pleaser.
